There’s your first frame out of however many you want! Save it as a png file by going to “File” and selecting “Save As.”
Now, you can add text and maybe even little drawing! I like to use Lucida Sans Unicode for the text :3 You can turn it off by making sure the little box at the top isn’t checked. The dots can take a little bit though :/ MAKE SURE ANTIALIASING IS OFF!!! Otherwise, when you fill it, it’ll look like this: Ta dah! :D It should look like this :3 Now begins the fun part, making your blinkie! I like to first color the border, base, and dashes. Now! How to make the blinkie itself! Again, I use Firealpaca, but you can also use Microsoft Paint for this. This base was originally made by I was looking around for a good tutorial, and I came across hers :3 This was originally a photoshop file, so I converted it into a JPEG, then into a PNG (which I should have done from the get-go, whoops. It’s also a good idea to work at twice the resolution that you plan for your final gif - 1280x960 for a 640x480 gif, for example, so it looks nice and clean when you size it down.Įdit: Oh, actually, converting to a 1-bit Layer and then back to Color will remove antialiasing from your lines, but starting out with aliased lines will ensure they don’t change as much during the conversion.Hello!! :D I was asked how I make blinkies, so I decided to make this tutorial! I use Firealpaca (You could also use Microsoft Paint!), Firealpaca Douga, and this base:
It’s important that you have Antialiasing off when you draw the lines, so you can easily fill in areas with the paint bucket without leaving any white space behind. It should be transparent and ready for coloring with no trace of the sketch left. Then go to Layer > Convert > Convert to Color Layer. Just go to Layer > Convert > Convert to 1 bit Layer. Thankfully, this is fairly easy in Fire Alpaca :). You’ll need to clean them up individually before you can color. Once you have all the frames in your animation sketched and lined. Then draw your lines directly on top using a pen with Antialiasing off. The best way to do this in Fire Alpaca for now is to do your sketch with the pencil in a light color.
